proceeding.

The great world Of politicians is all torn
up by an alleged snub Of Gov. Foraker by
Mrs Cleveland at a reception at the Phila-
delphia centennial on Saturday. The story
goes that Mrs Cleveland omitted to shake
hands with Governor and Mrs. Foraker
simply bowling coldly, and accentuated her
conduct by greeting Adjutant General Ak
line and his wife, who were the next couple
in line, with ELUSIVE warmth Now, of
course, if all this is true, and there seems to
be a conflict Of testimony, it is going to make
a tremendous stir IN politics; and if the
army isn't brought out to suppress the little
lady, it won't be Foraker's fault But after
all who can blame her. There are not very
many sefrespectng women in this world
who would shake hands with man who
had publicly likened her husband to
whipped spaniel" and who had afterward
publicly declared that he did not compare
that husband to dog because he had too
much respect for the dog. Foraker certainly
should not complain of her conduct. But it
will be noticed that it all depends on whose
OK is gored. All the republican papers now
are full of "this spiteful break" But
few weeks ago the same sheets applauded
the threats of Fairchild, Foraker, futile, ct
al to insult the President if he dared visit
st. Louis during the G. A. r. reunion. 1t is
perfectly right to insult a democratic Presi.
dent; but it is crime to snub "tuppen
ney" republican governor of Ohio.

does mt seem to be in itself sufficient rea.
son for the Supervisors resignation, which
certainly is surprise to Ottawa voters. He
could save his record by protest, After
the fuss made in his behalf and by himself
last spring it would seem to most common
people, that having been elected over bet
ter man he ought TO have the Staying
quality to hold the Office until his year had
expired. However Mr.. Dryer has proba
bly, learned something in the past few
along with the auditors, who, he says, are
all 'down on him" That is not n very seri.
Gus matter, however, for "refOrmer" to
have staring him in the face-certainly not
enough to cause a "hustling reformer" to
give up the ship at the first broadside. Then
he has found that the lot Of poor master is
no; happy one. And no love between the
two was developed by the refusal of Hol-
locker to take the job off his hands, the lat
ter very naturally remarking that reformers
who start out to ''run the machine" without
pay--just out of pure public spirit, and
no boodlerism, &C., &c.,-ought not TO "give
down" and back out of an unpleasant pre-.
dicament after barely five months expert
ence. Mr.. Dryer has found, too, that there
are equally as great men on the Board as
himself, and that a man who starts out to
lecture body of that kind and whip them
over to voting his way, by means of a sharp
tongue, does not, as rule, unless he is
vastly bigger man than Mr.. Dryer, succeed
to any marked extent. And Mr.. Dwyer has
not succeeded After the first squirt of sue
cess he enjoyed with the rest of his clique in
the organization of the Board, his influence,
on them, has departed never to return. He
had become a cipher. He is, fortunately,
smart enough to see his position without
further humping in the way of hints and
steps out-spanked. Mr.. Dwyer as Su-
pervsor has been failure; the great won
der is he had the nerve to resign and put
the anti climax to the absurd claims of the
wonderful things he would accomplish when
elected Supervisor for Ottawa. As speci-
men of ridiculous "hatout," this resignation
takes the palm. 1t is absurdity in the
superlative

RIVER IMPROVEMENT MEETING

1t is truism, trite enough in all con-
science, to say that the Improvement of the
Illinois river, and the making of 1t navi-
gable stream, is a subject Of more than usual
Importance to this country. II is a work in
which all the great West is interested. 1t is
a work that must be accomplished. The de-
mands of commerce are urging it common
sense is urging it, and the common interests
of all States bordering on the Mississippi,
from the Ohio north, urge the completion of
this great work, of which so much has al
ready been completed.
The people are interested in this work,
not only because the Illinois river traverses
the country from east to west, but because
her farming and manufacturing interests
would be benefited by the work, in common
also, because this county has of late years
done more to keep the present canal in the
public mind than almost any other county
that could be named. 1t is of interest, also,
because this county voted by large major
ity to give the Illinois & Michigan Canal,
and the improvements already completed in
the Illinois river, to the National Govern.
ment, if that power would accept and COM
plete the work.
This county should not be willing to allow
that grant to be defaulted. That disaster
must not be allowed to occur. Yet it will
occur, unless immediate action is taken and
the subject forced upon the attention Of Con-
gress in such formidable manner that it
cannot longer ignore it as has been done in
the past.

The situation was discussed, and finally an
arrangement was made that the defendant
should report to the court on the following
Monday morning after he had fixed up his
business And on the following Monday he
walked into the court room and said: 81
vas here, your honor; am ready to 60 to
Jail now.'' "Well," said his honor, "you
report to the sheriff tomorrow morning and
every morning until he finds place for you
in the jail" And he did, going home every
night and coming back every morning, in
sisting on seeing the Sheriff and telling him
he was ready to 60 to Jail. He kept that up
for ten days, until discharged but the life
of the Sheriff and of all his help was bur
